Journalists claim Armenian officials complicit in trafficking

Edik Baghdasarian, an Armenian investigative reporter, and Ara Manoogian, an Armenian-American activist have conducted a two year long investigation into trafficking rings which are selling Armenian women into prostitution in Dubai. Not only have they collected proof that hundreds of Armenian women are being used as sex slaves in Dubai, but they are also claiming that far from fighting against the trade, high ranking officials from the Armenian government are complicit in the crime. They claim that officials from Armenia regularly travel to Dubai to collect bribes from members of an Armenian human trafficking ring. Manoogian said;
“We have compelling evidence we collected there that suggests individuals within the Armenian government and in high-ranking positions are directly involved with this ring,”
It is illegal under UAE law for a single woman under the age of 31 to enter the country, but this law is easily avoided through forged documents. The question now is will there be an independent inquiry into the evidence that the Hetq Online journalists have produced and if not, what pressure will be put on the Armenian government to act against human trafficking?
